Palo Verde provides the following response: Palo Verde uses a similar arrangement of posting phrases, at the Radiological Controlled Area Boundary (RCA) we post radiation warning signs bearing the following words:
CAUTION RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLLED AREA RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL(S) REP REQUIRED FOR ENTRY For areas or rooms located outside of an RCA in which material is used or stored in quantities exceeding ten times Appendix C quantities we post with radiation warning signs bearing the following words: CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL(S) or DANGER, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL(S) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 12:52 AM To: powernet@ Subject: Powernet: Quick posting benchmark... At SONGS, we have an arrangement of posting phrases (RA,RMA, REP (RWP) Required, etc...) at our RCA boundary. We also have several satellite RMA's and RCA's at our site. In some cases, for satellite area's the signage can read the same, whether RMA or RCA. At your site do you use specific signage inserts that have the words "Radiologically Controlled Area" at your RCA boundary, or do you use some combination of other phrases (such as Radiation Area, Rad. Materials Area, RWP Required, etc...)? If you don't have specific verbiage (RCA) on your signs demarking a satellite RCA boundary how do you post to differentiate between a satellite RCA and a satellite RMA to alert workers as to what type of area they may be entering?
